Enjoy the Bubble While It Lasts: The Secret Behind Your AI Bill

|
By Kernel Pryanic

Somebody else is paying for your AI subscription. Not most of it. Almost all of it. That's the open secret of this whole era, and it's not on the pricing page. The arithmetic is inconvenient enough that nobody selling you a plan is in a hurry to walk you through it. SemiAnalysis did the obvious experiment: buy every plan OpenAI and Anthropic sell, then spend a month actually hammering them - long agentic runs, code generation that doesn't stop.

We open our IDE and let a model running somewhere in the cloud read our entire codebase to add a null check - and track our behaviour along the way. We open Google Docs and ask Gemini to fix a typo.

A few years ago, "writing code" meant sitting down and writing code with your own hands, kicking in a concentrated thinking process, being in a "flow". Today, more and more of it is generated, scaffolded, auto-completed, or delegated wholesale to AI. The act of typing out a function by hand has shifted pretty drastically from the default way of building software to delegating most of the code writing to AI.
